Kaja Draksler (b. 1987 in Kranj) is a young promising jazz pianist, typical of her generation, which compared to previous generations of Slovene jazz musicians enjoys more educational support and wider international connections. In 2005 after graduation she continued her studies at Prince-Claus Conservatorium in Groningen, Holland.

Among the many projects in which she has been involved, her collaboration with international European Movement Jazz Orchestra as composer and piano player stands out. She is the leader of Acropolis Quartet with George Dumitriu (guitar), Goran Krmac (tuba), and Kristijan Krajnčan (drums).

In November 2009 DruGod label released a new album by the quartet, Türkü, featuring Turkish singer Sanem Kalfa. The tracks are mainly renditions of Turkish traditional songs with modern arrangements.
